Description:
The correct answer is:
✅ Haboobs
Why?
Haboob (from Arabic habb = "wind") is the term Arizonans use for monsoon-driven dust storms.
These walls of dust (up to 5,000 ft tall) form when thunderstorms collapse, creating outflow winds that sweep up desert sand.
Key Features:
Visibility drops to near-zero.
Lasts 10–30 minutes but can cause chaos (crashes, flight delays).
Why Not the Others?
❌ Ghibli: A hot, dusty wind in Libya (North Africa).
❌ Loos: Not a meteorological term.
Fun Fact: Phoenix sees ~3 haboobs yearly—some stretch 100+ miles wide! 🌪️🏜️
Safety Tip: Pull over if caught driving in one—turn off lights to avoid collisions! 🚗💨
